Editor's Take

About the Venue

Pirate's Cove at Mount Playmore is Mount Olive Township's seasonal splash pad area at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake. It works especially well for families who want to combine water play with one of the township's major playground destinations, and the park setup includes nearby public restrooms and designated parking lots. This is a casual public park visit rather than a staffed water attraction, so conditions can vary with weather and mechanical issues. Pavilion rentals nearby also make it useful for informal birthday meetups.
